Expert Pools for the Global Gateway (GG) Investment Climate Reform (ICR) Facility
Developing and emerging countries face major challenges in transforming their economies along sustainable paths. Investments are central to this transformation and to fostering sustainable economic growth, but attracting high-quality, long-term capital requires a supportive, business-friendly environment. To help close the global EUR13 trillion investment gap by 2040, the EU launched the Global Gateway (GG), aiming to mobilize up to EUR300 billion for sustainable, high-impact projects. The GG strategy includes large-scale infrastructure investments measures, as well as measures that address the investment climate and the general enabling environment for economic growth. The Global Gateway (GG) Investment Climate Reform (ICR) Facility is implemented by GIZ (lead), Expertise France, and SNV. It supports EU partner countries in implementing reforms that unlock private investment and foster sustainable growth. This way, the GG ICR Facility also creates opportunities for the EU Member States" private sector to invest and remain competitive. The GG ICR Facility builds on the successful "ICR Facility 2020-2025", by reinforcing programmatic engagement, boosting private sector involvement, and aligning more closely with GG and Team Europe strategies. Its overall objective is that the investment climate in partner countries is improved ensuring that GG projects generate sustainable growth and jobs. The specific objective is that supported stakeholders design or implement investment climate actions that leverage the impact of GG projects to the general business environment. The Facility targets 50-60% of interventions to contribute directly to gender equality, including reforms to remove barriers for women entrepreneurs and improve their access to markets and finance. The Facility supports partner countries with targeted interventions to implement investment climate reforms and related measures that enable private sector development and sustainable investment, especially in the context of GG projects. Complementing the financing aspects of GG projects, the Facility focuses on improving the business environment and investment climate with public and private stakeholders at local, national, regional, and international levels engaged in trade, regional integration, private sector development, and investment climate reforms. It supports reforms, helping to reduce cross-border trade costs, attract investments, promote inclusive local development, developing and strengthening international value chains as well as improve long-term financing through stronger and more pro-active local financial systems. Ultimate goal is to enhance overall investment so that local economic development and job development take place. Special emphasis is placed on economically empowering women to ensure inclusive growth. Thereby, the Facility delivers demand-driven, reform-oriented technical assistance in cooperation with EU Delegations and local stakeholders. Its targeted approach enables engagement with multiple actors around specific GG projects, increasing the effectiveness of reform efforts. The Facility complements other EU initiatives in economic governance and regional integration. - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH

The activities will be structured under three core work packages: Work Package 1: Policy, Regulation and Technical Standards for Electromobility This work package focuses on establishing a coherent and harmonized regulatory framework to enable large-scale adoption of electromobility in Mexico. It aims to develop a National Roadmap for E-Mobility Standards and Regulations, serving as a strategic reference for federal and subnational authorities. - Development of a national regulatory framework aligned with international best practices - Definition of technical standards for charging infrastructure, vehicles, and system interoperability - Establishment of "EV-ready" requirements for buildings and urban infrastructure - Development of operational, safety, and maintenance standards for electric fleets - Definition of battery lifecycle management, including second-life and recycling protocols - Design of interinstitutional governance mechanisms for regulatory coordination This work package will result in a comprehensive White Paper consolidating regulatory recommendations, technical standards, and implementation pathways. Work Package 2: Multilevel Governance and Implementation of Electromobility This work package focuses on operationalizing electromobility policies through coordinated actions across federal, state, and local levels. - Implementation and operationalization of the National Electric Mobility Strategy (ENME) - Development of state-level electromobility strategies and implementation roadmaps - Design of regulatory harmonization frameworks across jurisdictions - Identification of financing mechanisms and business models for fleet electrification - Development of infrastructure planning guidelines and project pipelines - Integration of electromobility into climate policy instruments (NDC 3.0) This work package ensures that national policy objectives are translated into actionable measures and scalable projects. Work Package 3: Capacity Development, Training and Knowledge Transfer This work package focuses on strengthening institutional, technical, and operational capacities across stakeholders involved in the electromobility transition. - Design and implementation of training programs for public and private sector actors - Development of an online course on electromobility planning and implementation - Organization of workshops, webinars, and knowledge exchange events - Development of communication and knowledge products (guides, infographics, policy briefs) - Facilitation of stakeholder engagement and intersectoral dialogue This work package ensures that knowledge generated in the project is effectively transferred and institutionalized. - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbHEschbornDeadline: Aug 21
10004007 1-Provision of Technical Expert Support on Climate Change Adaptation and Climate Finance in Central and West Africa
In this work package, the contractor in collaboration with the African Development Bank will identify and work with project applicants from the pool of projects generated by the national climate funds, financed by GIZ. The contractor and AfDB will identify small-scale high-impact highly replicable climate change adaptation demonstration projects, that are suitable for AfDB"s Adaptation Benefits Mechanism (ABM), seeking to mobilize higher amounts of funding than available through the PACO small grants from Output 3. The specific objective is to establish and implement four new and fully validated ABM-Projects, developed according to the ABM Activity Cycle, that will catalyse up to four million Euro of public or private money via the issuance of Certified Adaptation Benefits (CAB). The basis for the four ABM Projects to develop are the identified projects from Output 3 suitable for an ABM Activity. To obtain the CABs, issued by the AfDB and the goal of the activity, the contractor must in collaboration with AfDB, guide the ABM Activity Participants during the ABM Activity Cycle. Both the small-scale adaptation project, implemented by the project developer under Output 3 and financed by GIZ (responsibility of GIZ), and the demonstration of the ABM must be fully implemented within the project duration (responsibility of the contractor). The contractor will be responsible for undertaking all activities necessary to establish and demonstrate four ABM Activities, in Benin, Ivory Coast, Senegal and Republic of Congo, which will lead to the issuance of Certified Adaptation Benefits by the African Development Bank. The contractor accordingly will deliver advisory services, technical and process-related assistance, deliver basic studies, and develop ABM Methodologies during the ABM Activity Cycle to the four identified ABM Participants. The African Development Bank will provide guidance and advise on the ABM components. Promote and catalyse adaptation financing in Benin, Côte d'Ivoire, and Senegal This work package outlines the activities required to develop a pipeline of climate change adaptation projects using the IsDB's financial instruments in Benin, Côte d'Ivoire and Senegal in cooperation with relevant national stakeholders to leverage through catalysation additional adaptation finance (up to 50 Mio. EUR from public and private investors). The objective is (1) to build a strong pipeline of IsDB projects in the three countries that are adapted and/or with a main objective of addressing adaptation challenges in relevant sectors, building from PACO small grant projects (Output 3), and NAP/NDC investment plans developed or revised under Output 1, and (2) to facilitate capacity building to strengthen the institutional capacity of financial institutions. The contractor will be responsible, in coordination with IsDB and GIZ, for deploying a series of country-level consultation workshops to firm up and engage with relevant public and private actors for the strengthening of IsDB project pipelines in Benin, Ivory Coast and Senegal with high adaptation finance potential. In addition, the contractor will prepare and implement relevant studies, including gender, socio-economic and environmental analyses supporting the economic case for IsDB intervention in sectors relevant to the countries" NAPs and adaptation-related NDCs or based on existing NAP/NDC investment plans. Establishment of four Reverse Linkages and one centre of excellence in collaboration with IsDB This work package focuses on the establishment of four Reverse Linkages in the PACO program with four different host-institutions. Reverse linkages are a mechanism developed by the Islamic Development Bank to establish partnerships between institutions in countries in the global South. In each partnership an institution with proven knowledge, expertise, technology, and resources is the provider of knowledge; the recipient of knowledge can be a public, private, or third-sector organization. The institutions involved must be IsDB members; this limits PACO participation to Benin, Ivory Coast and Senegal, and to the CCRS , since the Republic of Congo is not a member of the IsDB. The contractor will support IsDB to conduct a stakeholder assessment in each of the three member countries to identify interest and needs among institutions in the three target countries in being the recipient organization in a reverse linkage relationship. Where this offers a good opportunity, the contractor will, with help and consent of the IsDB, identify knowledge-providing institutions (the "Resources-Centre") to work with the concerned institutions and will facilitate planning and establishing the partnerships. The resulting partnerships may offer a range of services to recipient countries, including training, coaching, advisory services, technology transfer, demo sites, and others. Once set up, the partnerships usually last for a period of three years, so the process will be carried out during the life of the PACO project. Furthermore, the contractor will help IsDB to identify and set up regional or national Centres of Excellence (institutions highly specialized and leading in technology, finance, etc.) to potentially host more Reverse Linkages and to facilitate the flow of information. The contractor will accordingly assess the capacity needs of the target countries, identify the centres of excellence, accomplish the installation of four Reverse Linkages and implement capacity development plans with the support of IsDB. If appropriate, the IsDB will establish a reverse linkage between CCRS and a centre of excellence in another IsDB member country, to help build Commission capacity. This possibility will be considered by the Commission and the Bank during the inception phase of the PACO project. - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbHEschbornDeadline: Aug 21
